May 8, 1:00 - 2:30 PM ET – Current and emerging data sources can improve guidance to transportation management center (TMC) managers and other transportation professionals for operations decisions, provide better predictive capabilities, and enhance the safety and mobility of travelers. This webinar answers some key questions about operations data that is available to TMCs or will be soon such as crowdsourced data, real-time turning movement data, and high-resolution signal data. Several types of data will be reviewed for their applications to operations, current availability, and pros and cons of use. The webinar will also provide a discussion of the business models used for selling data and considerations in valuing data collected by transportation agencies. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the Maryland Department of Transportation (DOT), and the Utah DOT will present their successes, challenges, and work in improving different types of traffic data. More details will be available in the soon-to-be-released Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) report.

May 10, 2:30 - 3:30 ET – In this lecture, Goncalo Correia will focus on the research that is being done at TU Delft, a leading university in automated vehicle (AV) impacts research, focusing on urban areas and how mobility, and even the city itself, can change with fully-automated vehicles. This webinar will cover impacts on the value of travel time, traffic congestion, and land use, among others. As this research is still in progress, the lecture is intended more to foster research questions and methods than to offer final results, which are still a bit far away.
